Leek, Asparagus & Herb Soup

This Leek Asparagus and Herb Soup is the perfect fresh lunch or dinner for spring! It is a Core Plan meal, because it uses potatoes. To make it Advanced Plan, replace the potato with cauliflower or white beans. The soup will still be delicious!

1.) Heat coconut oil in a large saucepan over Medium-Low heat. Add leeks and cook, stirring often, until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute until fragrant.

2.) Add potatoes and broth. Bring to a simmer over Medium-High heat. Cover and reduce heat to Medium-Low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender, 15 to 25 minutes.

3.) Increase heat to Medium-High and stir in asparagus and peas. Simmer, covered, stirring 2 or 3 times, until just tender, 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in chives, parsley, and dill. Transfer the soup to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. (this step is optional)

4.) Return the soup to the pan. Add almond milk and bring to just below a simmer, stirring, over Medium heat. Stir in lemon juice, sea salt and pepper. Ladle into soup bowls. Garnish each serving with a dollop of Greek yogurt and sprinkling of the remaining fresh herbs.

Excellent job on the cookbook; one of the best ones I have seen with the Maximized Living diets in mind. Especially for those in the Midwest, it has all the great things I thought I could never make healthy! - David and Abby J., Denver, CO
